WHAT WE ARE UP TOO
As you all are probably aware of we moved to Gilbert. Yes, back to the city. I love it. We are living in an apartment so we have 2 pools and a hot tub here on site. I have always hated
swimming but down here it doesn't matter what size, shape or color you are you just get it and stay cool. Needless to say we have spent quite a bit of time in the pool with the boys. Carson is a really good swimmer. Peyton holds onto a kick board with no floaties and jumps off the sides of the pool. He is going to be a fish by the end of summer. Parker is getting braver with swimming. He wasn't to sure of it at first but like to float by himself at times. Gunner still isn't too sure about the whole thing, but goes along for the ride cuz that's where the rest of us are.
Chad works in Scottsdale back with Rummell Construction. He is an estimator and puts together the bids. He loves what he does and is pretty good at it also. The first week he was doing new things on the computer program they use for estimating that nobody else could figure out. All the people he worked with before are still there and he enjoys them all.
I am staying home with the boys and trying to keep them in control. Trying to come up with activities to keep them busy and cool inside. We have made a trip to Val Vista Lakes beach with some friends from the ward and had friends over to play.

GUNNER TURNS "1"
We celebrated Gunner's 1st birthday in the process of the move at grandma Cindy's and
grandpa Ron's. We had enchiladas and cake and ice cream. Grandpa Ric & Grandma Jann were even in town to come and celebrate with us. He received many fun gifts from all the family. A noisy lawn mower from his brothers (what was I thinking when I bought that), books, bath toys, and clothes. Thank you everyone for the presents. He sure enjoyed opening presents and also the famous "1" year old cake. We can't believe he is already one but we are so happy that he is growing and developing like he should. He is very big for being one and I get so many comments on his size from everyone. He is our feisty little red head with a big red head attitude. He causes lots of fights with his brothers and enjoys destroying all their Lego works of art. We sure do love having him.

EASTER 2009
We all traveled up to my mom and dad's house in Snowflake for Easter. It was fun to be with the whole family. The kids played really well together and had fun coloring Easter eggs and also hunting for them. Gunner had his first try at a bright blue peep and loved it. Grandma made all the kids matching Easter outfits for church on Sunday. They were very cute once again.

NASCAR 2009
Chad and I left the kids with my mom and dad and went to nascar both Friday and Saturday races. It was lots of fun to see how fast the cars really go.

Gunner has learned to walk now and is all over the place. He has also mastered drinking from the straw. Now there is one more person that gets to share the huge Doc's mug soda's.

Ami has finally graduated from school. Yippee!!! We are so proud of her for the patience and hard work throughout the last two years. Way to go Ami!! Since all the family was here for her graduation all the kids wanted to go swimming. Abbi, Marci, Ami and all the kids came over to go swimming. It was lots of fun. Thanks guys for the swim party.

I took the kids to the park the other day and tried to get a few pictures of them. The sun was especially bright and that explains all the squinting. They had fun playing and it wore them out when we got home.

That's about it for now. Just wanted to do a quick update and let you all know we are still here.
